locally and internationally, to execute verification/validation testing and deliver data to the project team ahead of
schedule.
• Created/Submitted documentation to receive diagnostic certification in Europe. Certification enabled Life
Technologies increase its product portfolio, and be the 1st to enter the European personalized medicine research
market in Europe, a $15M market.
• Led the Risk Management Team and worked with international OEM teams to identify and mitigate all foreseeable
instrument risks prior to releasing the instrument. Instrument failures decreased 25% with the new release.
• Chief of Staff to the in-house DNA sequencing center, improved turnaround time for customers to receive their
data from reducing sample to answer time frame from 2-3 months to less than one.
Teamwork
• Worked cross-functionally with product management and R&D to develop consumable specifications to meet
customer needs. Created and maintained requirement and specification documents that led to production of a DNA
sequencing instrument, and over a dozen associated consumables.
• Worked with quality teams in Singapore to transfer project knowledge and prepare teams for external audits. First
and only external audit of the In-vitro diagnostic DNA sequencer revealed full concordance with diagnostic
regulations, which sped up the release of the instrument.
Problem Solving
• Worked alongside support teams to install, diagnose and troubleshoot Next Generation Sequencing Instruments at
client sites. Used the experience to update Service Manuals reducing hands-on time at each site by 40%, from 7
days to 4 days, and added quality checks to standardize installation across sites and engineers. Received a Silver
DNA award for implementing new service methods to save costs and time.
• Tiger Team R&D lead, addressing technical field issues post instrument release. Able to create personalized
solutions for researchers reducing their down time. Built deeper relationships with consumers further
demonstrating our commitment to their research success, and emphasizing life technologies as their one stop shop
for all genetic research needs.

EXPERIENCE
IMMUNOGEN, INC.
Process Science Engineering
Waltham, MA
10/08-07/13
Senior Research Associate (07/11-07/13)

Leadership: Drafted and implemented a Design of Experiment based process to streamline early phase
development, leading to an average reduction of 20% from Phase I development timelines for three projects and
increasing process knowledge while beginning to pursue Quality by Design development.

Project Management: Commenced a program (protein purification process) to secure a critical raw material
produced by a contract manufacturer to be used in the production of an internal lead therapeutic.

Process Modeling: Used mathematical modeling to understand a known phenomenon that limited final drug
substance processing. The model consolidated published knowledge and enhanced internal understanding
resulting in 33% less raw material use and 10% decrease in processing time.
Research Associate III (11/09-07/11)

Process Innovation: Conceived of and developed a novel conjugation scheme that has been adopted as a
current platform approach for new development projects due to reaction efficiency, ease of manufacturing and
robust product quality attributes. Patent pending.

Operational Excellence: Worked with manufacturing to organize and co-chair an Operational Excellence
Committee seeking to use broad, cross-discipline expertise to solve large development/manufacturing problems.
Resolved outstanding manufacturing issues that consistently led to production deviations, reducing the product
release rate from >3 months to <2 months and alleviating the burden of the Regulatory Department for filing
Justification of Deviation reports.
Research Associate II (10/08-11/09)

Process Characterization: Completed the first technology characterization study comprising multiple products to
increase the institutional understanding of current process trends. Led to streamlined process range definitions for
incoming Phase I projects leading to development timelines being shortened by 10%.

Process Development: Optimized an existing, but inefficient reaction (40% incorporation), yielding a viable
process with efficiencies at >80% resulting in significant cost savings through the reduction of the most costly raw
material input for the process.
